It’s possible that the fire was set by radical gay (but not “LGBT” or “queer”) activists.

Or it might have been started by someone upset that organizations that were once considered respectable are being labeled “hate groups” because of their anti-gay hatred, to show how accurately describing their beliefs can lead to violence. It would not be without precedent – in 2008, a conservative white woman named Ashley Todd carved a “B” for “Barack” on her face in a mirror (making it backwards) and said that an African American did it to her while saying, “You are going to be a Barack supporter.”

Or maybe the graffiti was spray-painted by a separate group of people and the fire was entirely coincidental.

Either way, local news is already calling the graffiti “hate speech” without explaining how it’s hate speech.
